From 6 hours to 5 minutes
The published result refers to report preparation in this case, not implementation time or a guaranteed saving for other companies.
CASE STUDY
Vinco: report preparation from 6 hours to 5 minutes.
Work that required gathering files and preparing the report by hand became an automated flow. Leadership can review the information in Power BI.
THE PROBLEM
Preparing the report meant gathering files again.
Before reviewing the result, information had to be gathered from files, figures copied and versions checked.
The preparation took 6 hours. That work needed a repeatable flow so leadership could consult the report without rebuilding it each time.
THE APPROACH
Connect the data and automate its preparation.
- 01
Sources
Identify where the reporting information comes from.
- 02
Rules
Prepare the data with repeatable rules.
- 03
Report
Feed the Power BI reports that leadership uses to review the information.
THE RESULT
Less time preparing information, more time to review it.
Data ready for Power BI
Connected information feeds the reports used by leadership.
A repeatable reporting flow
Less time is spent gathering files and preparing the same information by hand.
This is an individual project result, not a guarantee. The 6 hours to 5 minutes figure refers to report preparation, not implementation time — Reported by Carlos De León, the Datomatico project lead, for this specific workflow, without an independent audit or measured revenue result

Questions worth asking.
When does this reporting pattern help?
When each report starts with gathering files, copying figures and checking versions by hand.
What should be reviewed first?
Where information is captured, the rules it must follow and what leadership needs to see in the report.
Does every report take 5 minutes after automation?
No. The 6-hour to 5-minute result belongs to this case and measures report preparation. Other processes, sources and scopes must be assessed separately.
